    This is a suggestion, not a request. Please consider making it possible to add a label to IP address ping targets in the list.

    I have several IP addressees I ping, and sometimes it's hard to remember what any given IP address represents. So, the label would typically be the associated host name, but possibly some short note to explain the reason for pinging that IP address.

    Thank you for reading.

    Good idea :) I am considering to realize it as:
    1. Hint displayed when user hover cursor over IP (or address) field
    2. Label displayed in second line (next to ST field).

    Second solution could be available only in "Display mode -> Extended", first solution allow to display hint in both display modes. Which solution will be better, what do you think?

    I normally use "Basic" display mode. It would be nice to have both, but if I could only have one, I would prefer the first (hint displayed when hovering the cursor). Thank you for the reply!
